W5LVC's 2025 JOTA - Jamboree on the Air

This Year's JOTA happens on October 17-19 2025

The Scout's JOTA - Jamboree on the Air has become a tradition in the club.

Our club is once again planning to take part in this year's edition of JOTA. 

We are actively fine-tuning and working out the details for the JOTA 2025 operation that will happen over the weekend of October 17-19 2025.

Stay tuned, details will follow soon. 

W5LVC's 2025 Field Day was a Great Success!

Thank you all for showing up for the Field Day event

The club activated the ARRL Summer Field Day event from the Scout Troop 771 Barn in Flower Mound.


This year's FD was on June 28-29th, we had over 65 people present, operated 4A with 2 CW stations, 1 SSB station and 1 FT8 station.


13 different operators helped the club make the event a success, in terms of QSOs, points, bands activated, etc.


Our Field Day czar, Greg NE5GT, did a fantastic job organizing and preparing the event. Thank you!


Debbie, Rhonda and Sandra, with the help of chef Jim, did a great job keeping all extremely well fed and happy. Thank you!


Kevin did a marvelous job teaching the Radio Merit Badge to over 30 scouts from various DFW troops. Thank you!


Thank you all who showed up, operated, helped, managed, interacted, and had a great time. Thank you very much! The success of these events is thanks to all of you!


Please come and attend the club meeting on 7/15 @ Thrive at 6:30PM where we are presenting all the nice pictures and details of the operation. Hope to see you there.


Last but not least, Winter FD in January and FD2026 next June are already in the planning phase. Mark your calendars. See you there!

Our History

  • In 1982, a group of hams at TI Lewisville formed the Texans Amateur Radio Club. The club lasted until 1999, when the TI plant was closed down. At its peak, the club had about 60 members, plus a club station and a 2-meter FM repeater on 145.170 MHz. After the club shut down, the repeater was operated by a group of local hams until 2004, when it was taken out of service. It was later put back on the air in another location in Lewisville by Bob Landrum, W5FKN, and is now owned and operated by the Denton County Amateur Radio Association. 
  • In 2015, a new group of hams from the Lewisville area formed the current Lewisville Amateur Radio Association.
